This compact sport of Little Rocket is an excellent choice where space is a concern; dense spikes of bright yellow flowers rise above dark green foliage that is coarse in texture; likes partial shade in afternoon; great for waterside applications

Bottle Rocket Ligularia features bold spikes of yellow flowers rising above the foliage from mid to late summer. Its large serrated heart-shaped leaves remain dark green in color throughout the season. The deep purple stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant.
It is an herbaceous perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its wonderfully bold, coarse texture can be very effective in a balanced garden composition. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. Deer don’t particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
